Chapter 1627: Solar Corona Temple
The Solar Corona Temple holds great significance for the High Elves historically.
The High Elves once settled in Tirisfal Forest near the Undead Capital, preparing to thrive and multiply there.
However, powerful mages within their race detected something extremely peculiar beneath that land, suspected to be the sealed domain of an ancient god.
The High Elves continued migrating northward, with Ghost Land located in the southern part of Silvermoon Forest.
The High Elves first established camp at the Solar Corona Temple, founding the Silvermoon Council there and conferring the surname "Sunstrider" upon their strongest leader at the time, crowning him as king at this very site.
Though later battles erupted here due to its proximity to the Trolls, forcing the capital to migrate further north, the temple retained its significance as the coronation site of the first Sun King and as a critical strategic point. The High Elves established an essential magic node here, its magical currents attracting numerous magical creatures.
During the Scourge invasion, this site resisted the Undead Legion for several months, preventing them from advancing an inch.
The queen, then the supreme military commander of the High Elves, led the defenses during that devastating battle, which saw the Windrunner Family exhaust its resources and suffer the loss of nearly all its elite warriors at the temple.
After the Scourge retreated, the High Elves, amidst economic collapse and recovery efforts, lacked the means to regain the temple. It became a vital alchemical workshop for the Undead, teeming with Gargoyles, Abominations, and various alchemical machinery powered entirely by the Sunwell’s magic node.
Moreover, the Withered Sun Legion saw the temple as a key checkpoint on their path to Daisom. Capturing it meant eliminating the threat of rear attacks.
Currently, the Ghost Land’s strategic situation is deeply complicated. The Light Faction has intervened, while Trolls remain unpredictable in their actions.
